Howard Dean speaks Spanish to woo Hispanic voters

Tuesday July 15, 2003
Add Howard Dean to the list of U.S. presidential candidates who have spoken to their potential constituents in Spanish. According to one press report, Dean spoke "smooth Spanish and fiery English" this week in addressing the National Council of La Raza, a group devoted to Hispanic rights that was holding a convention in Austin, Texas. Dean is a former governor of Vermont seeking the Democratic nomination.
 
The other presidential candidate known for speaking Spanish is, of course, the incumbent, George W. Bush, who frequently switches to the nation's second language when speaking to Spanish-speaking audiences. Lee un artículo, "La Raza atrae demócratas a territorio de Bush"
